I've uploaded their site with their details. But they have changed the details and not paid me. Should I have created some sort of contract? I'm so confused and worried now.

Ask me: I'm a Design Lecturer...: Why is Britain... →
designlecturer:
I seem to do my best writing with a coffee in my hand, whilst I’m sat in Starbucks with one I thought I’d pop a little post here. I have often wondered why design related literature costs so much, I mean, books about design are usually twice the price of others, equipment is expensive and design…

Forgive the silly American, but why?
Well that probably equates to $45 for a pack of letraset pens - basic colours at that. I’m used to paying half that, however I can’t find them anywhere but this shop, so I’m annoyed :(

Ask me: I'm a Design Lecturer...: I hate my job. →
designlecturer:
Anon asked: I was warned after graduating that I would hate my first job entering the design industry. I was hoping it wouldn’t be true! but alas, it is. I don’t have the opportunity to design anything and even if I did we design strictly sportswear which isn’t my niche. Now, I realize I should…

Anonymous asked: Agreed the typography on the map thing is hideous. But what do you think about Paula Scher's maps?
Anonymous asked: Do you think design is subjective, or do you believe there are codes and conventions that designers should stick to in order to make good design. Or is there a happy medium?
